Perhaps instead of agonizing over how Environmental Protection Agency Director Scott Pruitt is milking taxpayers to live high off the hog in luxury condos, use fancy limos and buy expensive office furniture, we ought to be paying more attention to how he’s really abusing our country.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization helping to build better lives for those affected by mental illness.

Former Sen. George McGovern, the great liberal candidate for president, was a B-24 Liberator pilot in World War II. When he signed the bottom line to join the military, does Nicholson think that was somehow an insult to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Only a Democratic-led Congress will stand up for regular folks, as well as provide checks and balances.
We are proud to have recently created a truly integrated academic health system, UW Health. As, respectively, dean of the School of Medicine and Public Health and a state senator on the UW Health Authority Board, we navigated a lengthy process of integrating our hospitals and clinics with our physicians’ group. UW Health is now a more seamless organization caring for patients across the full continuum of community-based primary care to highly technical, state-of-the-art specialized services.
Improvement must be made to resolve problems revealed by an audit conducted by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau.
